DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of an image sensor package 1 which may include an image sensor chip 10, a logic chip 20, and a memory chip 30. In some embodiments, the image sensor chip 10, the logic chip 20, and the memory chip 30 may be mounted on a package substrate and overlap perpendicularly an extension direction of the package substrate. One example of the package substrate is illustrated in FIG. 5 . Also, in one embodiment, the image sensor package 1 includes a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor (CIS).

The image sensor chip 10 may include a pixel array including a plurality of unit pixels and may output a pixel signal. The logic chip 20 may process the pixel signal output from the image sensor chip 10. The memory chip 30 may store at least one of the pixel signal processed by the logic chip 20 and the pixel signal output from the image sensor chip 10.

The image sensor package 1 may connect the memory chip 30 and the image sensor chip 10 electrically to each other through a conductive wire. The logic chip 20 may perpendicularly overlap the memory chip 30 and the image sensor chip 10, and may be between the memory chip 30 and the image sensor chip 10. The logic chip 20 may be electrically connected to the image sensor chip 10 through silicon vias (TSVs) that pass through at least a part of the image sensor chip 10, and may be electrically connected to the memory chip 30 through the TSVs of the image sensor chip 10 and the conductive wire.

The memory chip 30 may receive the pixel signal output from the image sensor chip 10 via the conductive wire. Also, the memory chip 30 may receive the pixel signal processed by the logic chip 20 via the image sensor chip 10 and the conductive wire.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5 , the image sensor chip 10 and the logic chip 20 may be electrically connected to the memory chip 30 via the conductive wire (e.g., 50 in FIG. 5 ) and an interconnection layer (e.g., 410 in FIG. 5 ) in the package substrate. In one embodiment, the image sensor chip 10 and the logic chip 20 may be electrically connected to the memory chip 30 via the conductive wire (e.g., 52 in FIG. 9 ) and a redistribution structure (e.g., 310 in FIG. 9 ) of the memory chip 30.

In the image sensor package 1, a power supply voltage, a ground voltage or signals from an external apparatus may be transmitted to an internal interconnection of the package substrate, and then may be input to the image sensor chip 10 and to the logic chip 20 via the image sensor chip 10. In some embodiments, the power supply voltage, the ground voltage or signals from the external apparatus may be transmitted to the internal interconnection of the package substrate, and then may be supplied to the memory chip 30 without passing through the image sensor chip 10.

The image sensor chip 10 may receive the power supply voltage, the ground voltage, or the signals from the external apparatus, for example, through the conductive wire that connects the package substrate to the image sensor chip 10. The power supply voltage, the ground voltage, or the signals may be supplied to the memory chip 30 without passing through the conductive wire that connects the package substrate to the image sensor chip 10. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5 , the power supply voltage, the ground voltage, or the signals may be supplied to the memory chip 30 via the interconnection layer (e.g., 410 in FIG. 5 ) in the package substrate (e.g., 400 in FIG. 5 ).

In one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 9 , the power supply voltage, the ground voltage, or the signals may be supplied to the memory chip 30 via the redistribution structure (e.g., 310 of FIG. 9 ) of the memory chip 30 and the conductive wire (e.g., 54 of FIG. 9 ) that connects the redistribution structure to the package substrate (e.g., 400A of FIG. 9 ).

The power supply voltage, the ground voltage, or the signals from the external apparatus may be supplied to the logic chip 20 via the image sensor chip 10. For example, the power supply voltage, the ground voltage, or the signals may first be input to an interconnection structure of the image sensor chip 10, via the conductive wire that connects the package substrate to the image sensor chip 10, pass through at least a part of the image sensor chip 10, and supplied to the logic chip 20 via the TSVs connected to the interconnection structure of the image sensor chip 10 and an interconnection structure of the logic chip 20.

The logic chip 20 may include a plurality of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), for example, as illustrated in FIG. 3B. A pixel signal output from the pixel array of the image sensor chip 10 may be transmitted to and processed by the ADCs in the logic chip 20. The pixel signal processed by the logic chip 20 may be written in a memory cell array (MCA) of the memory chip 30, for example, MCA in FIG. 4 .

The pixel signal processed by the logic chip 20 may be transmitted to an image processor 60. The image processor 60 may include at least one image signal processor (ISP) 62 and a post processor 64. The image processor 60 may output images captured by the image sensor chip 10 as a preview on a display. When a capture instruction is input by a user or device, the images captured by the image sensor chip 10 may be stored in a memory chip 30.

The post processor 64 may perform various operations to provide a digital image signal from the images captured by the image sensor chip 10. For example, various post processing algorithms may be executed by the post processor 64. Examples of the post processing algorithms included but are not limited to contrast enhancement, sharpness enhancement, noise reduction, or other operations not performed by the ISP 62. An output from the post processor 64 may be supplied by a video codec processor. An image processed by the video codec processor may be output to the display or stored in the memory chip 30.

When a logic chip includes TSVs that electrically connect an image sensor chip to a memory chip to each other, cost incurred by a process of forming TSVs may be increased. Also, the degree of freedom of design may be deteriorated. However, in accordance with one or more embodiments, image sensor package 1 may have a multi-level stack structure in which chips performing various functions are vertically stacked. As a result, the image sensor package 1 may have a small form factor, may establish interconnection comparatively easily through wire bonding, and may achieve an improved degree of freedom of design.

Furthermore, in accordance with one or more embodiments, the power supply voltage, the ground voltage, or the signals supplied from an external apparatus may be supplied directly to the memory chip 30, without passing through the image sensor chip 10. As a result, the image sensor package 1 may have improved power integrity (PI).

The image sensor 100 may have a plurality of interconnection structures, in which the conductive pads 130, electronic devices in the CR, and the unit pixels 120 in the SAR are electrically connected to one another. The interconnection structures may be formed of a metal, a metal oxide, or a combination thereof. The CR and the PR may constitute a peripheral circuit region (PCR) of the image sensor 100.

As illustrated in FIG. 2B, the image sensor 100 may have a first surface 100A and a second surface 100B that face each other.

The image sensor 100 may include a plurality of conductive pads 130 and a plurality of TSVs 135. The conductive pads 130 are on the first surface 100A and the second surface 100B of the image sensor 100. The TSVs 135 pass through the image sensor 100 and electrically connect the conductive pads 130 on the first and second surfaces 100A and 100B. For example, the TSVs 135 may have at least one of a via-first structure, a via-middle structure, or a via-last structure.

The conductive barrier layer and the metal plug may be formed, for example, through a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process or a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. In one embodiment, the TSVs 135 may be surrounded by a spacer insulating layer, for example, a spacer insulating layer 136 as illustrated in FIG. 3A. The spacer insulating layer 136 may prevent the electronic devices of the image sensor 100 and the TSVs 135 from directly contacting one another. The spacer insulating layer 136 may be formed, for example, of an oxide layer, a nitride layer, a carbide layer, polymer, or a combination thereof.

A protective layer 132 may be formed at the second surface 100B of the image sensor 100. The protective layer 132 may have an opening through which the conductive pads 130 are exposed and may be formed, for example, of an oxide layer, a nitride layer, or a combination thereof.

In FIG. 2B, the TSVs 135 have a structure that passes through the image sensor 100 to electrically connect the conductive pads 130, respectively formed at the first surface 100A and the second surface 100B of the image sensor 100, to one another.

The photodiode PD may receive light (for example, visible rays or infrared rays) from the outside and may produce photocharges based on the received light. The photocharges produced by the photodiode PD may be transferred to a floating diffusion region FD via the transfer transistor TX. When the transfer transistor TX is turned on, photocharges produced by the photodiode PD may be transferred to the floating diffusion region FD via the turned-on transfer transistor TX.
